Invent a word, invent a meaning...

[Wolfie]

Invent a word, invent a meaning.

I will list 10 words I have invented, indicating whether they are noun, verb, adjective etc. You invent meanings for them and list them. You don't have to put your own list of words up - but it would be fun to see what sort of words other people invent.

Also, there is no restriction on how many people invent meanings for the list of words - this is not running on the 'solve one - set one' principle that a lot of the other games use.

Here's my first ten words:


1) Popplewick (n)

2) Misbabulous (adj)

3) Thirney (adj)

4) Resimaciously (adv)

5) Gudder (v)

6) Quinter (n)

6) Quinter (n) - one who quints
quint (n) - 5 sales on one call (4 upsells)
